CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the fi replace unit you are installing. If your
gas supply is not correct, do not install fi replace. See retailer where
you purchased the fi replace for proper fi replace according to your
gas type or to purchase gas conversion kit (see Accessories, page 33).
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
When installing a non-high altitude fi replace at an elevation above
2000 feet (610 m) (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input
rating by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Reduce
input 4% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level. Check with
your local gas company for proper derate procedure and orifi ce size.
When installing this fi replace in Canada at an elevation above
4500 feet (1372 m), Check with local or provincial code authorities.
Consult your local gas company to help determine the proper orifi ce
for your location.
For assistance with any high altitude installation contact DESA’s
Customer Service Department at 1-866-672-6040.
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE
CAUTION:
For propane/LP units, never connect
fi replace directly to the propane/LP supply. This
heater requires an external regulator (not supplied).
Install the external regulator between the fi replace
and propane/LP supply.
WARNING:
A qualifi ed service person must con-
nect fi replace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
